They emphasized the relevance of Gandhi’s messages of peace and harmony in today’s world and pledged to protect his ideals. The day holds significance as it marks the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, who was killed by Nathuram Godse on January 30, 1948. Every year, the nation remembers Gandhi’s peaceful and non-violent methods to achieve independence from British rule, and he is honored on his death anniversary as the people of the country observe ‘Mahatma Gandhi Punyatithi’.
